Chapter 384: Chapter 260: Whoever Kills Duan Xinhe Will Get the Dragon Egg

The conference hall was incredibly spacious, magnificent, and luxurious, fully reflecting the grandeur of the World City’s City Lord Mansion.

On the main seat, the slightly plump Old City Master Li sat without greeting any of the factions’ members, not nodding to any experts, just sitting there in a composed manner.

Before the main hall assembly, some members had already entered one after another and found their seats. When Old City Master Li had not yet taken his place, the various forces talked and exchanged words, or mocked those who already had opposing factions.

However, after Old City Master Li took his seat, the members of the various forces also unanimously ceased their arguments. This small action exemplified the invisible aura of a strong figure and the demeanor of a city master.

“Everyone has turned my Li City upside down today,” Old City Master Li said without mincing words, immediately focusing on the topic at hand.

No one interrupted when Old City Master Li spoke. The heads of the various forces either drank tea, smiled in indifference, or showed no change in expression, obviously showing it wasn’t any of their concerns. In fact, this statement by Old City Master Li applied to all the forces since all forces called upon by Old City Master Li harbored intentions towards the Qingzhe Dragon, just with varying degrees of action.

Regardless of whether their actions were big or small, the involvement of so many forces would inevitably bring many problems to Li City. Old City Master Li also had to put the city’s security forces on high alert for nearly two months.

As things had become worse, Old City Master Li lost his patience. He summoned the heads of all major forces in Li City for a scolding. They might have thought they had already forgotten whose territory they were on.

Therefore, next, Old City Master Li did not exchange pleasantries, whoever sat closest to Old City Master Li got scolded first

“Old Master Wang, do you feel that the land tax in Zhanli Realm is too cheap, especially in Li City?” The Old City Master’s criticism quickly turned to Merchant Lord Wang from the Commerce Association.

“Not at all, among all the realms, Zhanli Realm’s land rent is expensive…” Merchant Lord Wang laughed with a face full of horizontal flesh.

“What have your Rock Type Soul Pet trainers been doing then, throwing dirt all over the place, trying to dig through the foundations of my Li City, or have you discovered some kind of veins under Li City that you want to exploit on a large scale?” The Old City Master asked.

“Yes, yes, we did discover some veins under Li City a few days ago.” Merchant Lord Wang agreed, going along with Old City Master’s words.

“Oh, I’ll have to add an additional mining tax for you, the amount will be based on the mining area, you’ll pay according to the amount you dig.” Old City Master Li said.

Upon hearing this, Merchant Lord Wang’s face immediately turned black. The other forces also had to restrain their laughter.

Everyone knew that Merchant Lord Wang was searching for a Zhe Dragon underground, so the so-called ‘mining’ was just an excuse. If the land tax was calculated based on the mining area, Merchant Lord Wang would have to pay at least half of his annual income from trading, commerce, and soul pet market profits to Old City Master Li – an astronomical figure he could not afford.

Before Soul Pet Palace Master could contain his laughter, Old City Master’s scolding enveloped him.

The Soul Pet Palace had always been the most neutral force; this time they also joined the excitement. Old City Master Li criticized the Soul Pet Palace’s rigid formality and current fickleness, making the Li City Soul Pet Palace Master feel quite embarrassed. He repeatedly claimed that he was just watching the excitement.

Old City Master Li also did not give any face to the Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Hall, or Soul Covenant. He mocked those members who were not from Li City, welcoming them to visit Li City on the surface, but actually suggested when it was time for them to leave, they should leave and not cause trouble on his turf.

With all parties being scolded, the various forces realized that Old City Master Li was truly furious this time, and no one dared to casually provoke him.

“These are all major forces, and Old City Master Li’s words are very unkind. The local hands of the various forces remain silent, because after all, they are under his control. How is it that even Lord Yu, the West Region White Nightmare Demon Vice City Lord, and members of Soul Covenant dare not say a word?” Chu Mu used his Soul Sense to inquire Master Li about the situation.

The Nightmare Demon Palace had its own residence in Li City, which was a Blue Nightmare Demon Palace. However, the Blue Nightmare Demon Palace Master couldn’t say a thing this time because the Level 10 vice city lord of the West Region White Nightmare Demon City, Xiao Ren, was present, and he could only concede to a secondary position.

Chu Mu didn’t fully understand the positions and rankings of these major forces, so the fact that Old City Master Li could scold all the people in the room so blatantly made Chu Mu feel both curious and puzzled.

Fox Elder naturally understood the hierarchy of the various major powers, and began to explain: “The leaders of the various major powers present are all members with the title of Tenth Level in their respective powers. For example, Li City is a Level 10 City, and the major powers stationed here, such as Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Pet Palace, Soul Hall, Elemental Gate, and the Business Association, are all considered Level 10 strongholds. The top leaders must be people with a title of Tenth Level or above to take up the position.”

“Almost all Domain Cities are Tenth Level cities, while Boundary Cities are called Tenth Level cities, but in reality, they are Eleventh Level cities. The Boundary City Lord’s level is equivalent to Eleventh Level, while the highest level of the major powers’ leaders is Tenth Level, so they don’t dare to talk back when the Boundary City Lord scolds them.”

“As for the Lord Yu from the World City, a few Soul Covenant members, and Xiao Ren from the Western White Nightmare Demon City, they should also be considered Eleventh Level figures. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and Old City Master Li is the boss here. It doesn’t matter if they are of the same level or lower level, given his strength and character, he still dares to scold them. Those few have come to Li City harboring ulterior motives, so they can only endure the scolding. I think the Li City Lord was actually polite today. If he had his old temper, he might have flipped the table. The Li City Lord is not someone easy to mess with, and he’s well known for his bad temper in the soul pet world,” explained Fox Elder.

“Lord Yu is Eleventh Level? I remember that my Soul Hall Order is only Tenth Level, so why is he still somewhat polite to me?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled.

It seemed that Liu Binglan’s Soul Hall Spirit was also only at the Tenth Level. If Lord Yu was at the Eleventh Level, then it should be said that his level was higher than Liu Binglan’s.

“You don’t understand. Most powers only have titles up to the Tenth Level. But think about it, the Domain City Lord of Luo region is Tenth Level, and Li City, a Boundary City, is also Tenth Level. Of all the Hall Masters, who has more power? Naturally, it is the Soul Hall Master of Li City.”

“Lord Yu comes from the World City and is the palace master of one of the Seven Halls of the Main Soul Hall. His Soul Hall Order is also Tenth Level, but his position is much higher than that of other people. Internally, he is referred to as an Eleventh Level. The same is true for Madame Liu Binglan. Her title is not high, but the power she possesses is much higher than that of those Tenth Level titled individuals. Or rather, her unique position and name are already higher than the so-called leveled titles. So, Lord Yu, despite his cold demeanor, must show you some courtesy,” Fox Elder said.

Fox Elder’s explanation left Chu Mu feeling dizzy, but at least he now knew that Tenth Level did not seem to be the highest among these major powers…

“Duan Xinhe, this villain, came to my Li City and massacred hundreds of poor civilians, as well as slaughtering more than a hundred of my guards. You bunch of scoundrels have caused me to not even have enough manpower to handle this matter right now. If it weren’t for the exceptional intelligence of these two young people who exterminated Duan Xinhe’s seven hundred Gluttonous Insect monsters, who knows how many innocent lives would have been lost in my Li City…” As he spoke, Old City Master Li’s gaze had already fallen on Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

Old City Master Li extended his hand, intending to give Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi a formal introduction for their great achievements in discovering and thwarting Duan Xinhe’s plans.

The major powers’ representatives also looked at Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi, with surprise on their faces. They had heard that two young members had exterminated more than seven hundred Gluttonous Insect monsters belonging to Duan Xinhe, but they didn’t expect them to be so young.

The term ‘youth generation’ is quite vague. Those in their late twenties who look younger might also be considered part of the youth generation. However, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were clearly only around twenty years old. With their age, they managed to strike a heavy blow to Duan Xinhe, a headache-inducing figure to many powerful individuals. Naturally, this came as a great surprise.

“Duan Xinhe must still be in Li City. This man needs to be killed. Each of you must send out an expert to put down your shovels and help me resolve this Duan Xinhe issue first,” Old City Master Li directly enlisted the help of the major powers to eradicate Duan Xinhe.

“Of course, someone like Duan Xinhe should be punished by everyone.”

“I happen to have some free time these days and can accompany Duan Xinhe to have some fun.”

“Since Old City Master Li is issuing a wanted order, we will naturally spare no effort to assist…”

The powers present also expressed their willingness to help eliminate Duan Xinhe.

“Humph, don’t just try to appease me with words.” Old City Master Li was not polite, sweeping his gaze over all the people present.

There was a moment of awkward silence among the powers as they realized their intentions to appease the Old City Master were indeed quite strong. After all, their focus was on the Qingzhe Dragon, not Duan Xinhe.

“I’m tired of playing mind games with you all. Everyone is here for the Qingzhe Dragon and the Zhe Dragon egg. Since this matter has arisen in my territory, I’ll be in charge of it, so that we don’t make my Li City a bloody hell.”

“Since everyone present has a grudge against Duan Xinhe, then in my opinion…”

Old City Master Li deliberately paused for a moment, seeing that the powers present were already showing dissatisfaction, then smirked, “Let Duan Xinhe’s life be the key to this contest – whoever kills Duan Xinhe, the Qingzhe Dragon egg will belong to that power!”
